Mythological hero Atlant should keep heavens from falling to the Earth. The problem of impellent module "it" which was transported by "Goliath", looked much more modest. It should keep only a small splinter of the sky.

"it" mounted on Dejmose, the external companion of Mars. It was hardly more systems of rocket engines with the attached fuel tanks, bearing two hundred thousand tons of liquid hydrogen. The jet engine informed it even a smaller push, than to the primitive shell which has delivered in space of Jury Gagarin. But it could work continuously not minutes, and weeks. However, even in this case its effect on a body in size with Cali would be insignificant - change of speed of all on some centimetres a second. But if all is tritely good, it would suffice.

It is a pity, if the people so persistently struggling for the project "Atlant" - or against it, - so never and do not learn results of the efforts.

Chapter 6

The senator

Senator George Ledstoun (the independent candidate from the Western America) had one obvious strangeness and, by its own recognition, one secret defect. So, it always wore massive glasses in a horn frame (with simple glasses, certainly) because in conversations in private they inspired fear in witnesses: very few people from them had to face a similar innovation in a century when eye diseases recovered instantly by means of the laser.

It "secret defect", perfectly known for everything, consisted in predilection for shooting from a rifle on the typical Olympic shooting range arranged in long corridors for a long time of the thrown silage hole about mountain near of Cheyenne. Since then, as the planet the Earth has been demilitarised, at similar pastime looked with disapproval if at all in every possible way did not discourage to it.

The senator supported the resolution of the United Nations condemning mass bloodsheds of the XX-th century and imposing an interdiction for possession by the states and separate persons by all kinds of arms which can harm to someone else except the most aiming. Nevertheless it with neglect concerned the well-known slogan of Saviors of the World: "Guns - a support powerless".
